Late in the Evening

The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't've been
no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio
coming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way
some ladies' do
Well it's late in the evening
and the music's seeping through
The next thing I remember
I am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright
I'm with my boys
and with my troops
Down along the avenue
some guys were shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of
acapella groups
Singin' late in the evening
and all the girls out
on the stoops
Then I learned to play
some lead guitar
I was underage
in this funky bar
And I stepped outside
to smoke myself a J
When I come back to the room
everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud
and I began to play
It was late in the evening
and I blew that room away
First thing I remember
when you came into my life
I said I wanna get that girl
no matter what I do
Well I guess
I've been in love before
and once or twice
have been on the floor
But I've never loved no
one the way that I love you
And it was late in the evening
and all the music's
seeping through
